To Paleo Or Not to Paleo? That is the question.



Have you ever felt like this kid?  I find my self in almost a constant dialogue.  Every time I hit the fridge, go to a restaurant or just think about food.   It's almost like I have a little Paleo Devil and a Paeleo Angel on each shoulder.  Back and forth they argue. All day long.  I'd say each wins about 50% of the time.


So here's the dialogue goes in my head:

  • Paleo Angel:  Do you know many burpees you're going to have to do to work that off?
  • Paelo Devil:  Dude, you've been eating this way for 40+ years. What's another?  It's only one.
  • Paleo Angel:  But earlier today you said that would be the last one? Remember, you're Paleo now
  • Paleo Devil:  Don't listen to her.  This Paleo thing is a fad.  You earned it...go ahead.  Indulge.
  • Paleo Angel:  Don't listen to him.  You worked so hard to get here. Don't let it go.
  • And so on...

Does this ever happened to you?  Or is it just me?  Let me know.



10 Reasons Why I Crossfit Over 40



There are many reasons to Crossfit.  As a masters athlete, there are even more.  Don't let you age define you.  Crossfit is for athletes of all ages and abilities.  Here's 10 reasons why I Crossfit.  What are yours?


1.  How can I take care of my family if I can't take care of myself?

2.  I want to feel 10 years younger than my chronological age - permanently.

3.  I want to look good with out my shirt on!  Ok, I know this is vain...but true

4.  There's more important things than work, chores, and other doldrums of life

5.  Community, Community, Community

6.  Make the best use of my time in the gym

7.  I like to compete...it keeps me sharp
